What is Experty?

Experty is the Uber for knowledge sharing. Consultations are made through a voice and video calling application, allowing experts to be paid directly for their time. Experty is better for consultations than Skype because all payments are automated and done over the blockchain. Experts set their own rates and get paid instantly through Experty’s smart contract whenever they are called.

Omar from Crypt0’s News likes the idea and plans to use it. He stated:

“It’s very rare that I hear about a project that actually is creating something that I can use myself… I look forward to trying out [the Experty app]”

— The Experty Team

Here is his full interview with Experty:

ICO Alert:How does the Experty token (EXY) function within the platform and why is it needed?

Experty: The EXY token will be used for all payments, from advice seeker to knowledge provider. In addition to this, premium features will be available for people who have staked enough tokens on their wallet (a similar methodology tomaster nodes). Example features are:

ICO Alert:The foundation of the Experty platform is the “paid knowledge exchange” between individual users. What are some other use cases you see arising over time?

We have partnered with some of the best and most well known blockchain companies that plan to use Experty.

We are also targeting crypto influencers, such as Josh Olszewicz, a popularTwitterandYouTubecrypto personality. Josh expressed his interest in using the Experty app, stating:

“I immediately saw an opportunity for myself to use the Experty app. It’s very hard to scale 1-on-1 knowledge sharing at the moment.”

ICO Alert:Can you give us an estimation on how large the consulting industry market is currently? How much of that market is digital? What are the future predictions for the industry?

Experty: The consulting industry is estimated to be valued at $125 billion, of which $23 billion is digital. We see the opportunity to expand beyond the current market, since we have the opportunity to create a new economy, similar to how Airbnb or Uber did.

ICO Alert:What are some of the major issues with current paid knowledge exchange platforms?

Experty: The main issue that comes with paid knowledge exchange platforms are that they require an intermediary to hold and distribute funds. Users are faced with high fees, slow transfers, long setups, and are limited by location. Blockchain technology increases transparency and trust in the consulting industry.

ICO Alert:What if a knowledge provider is not a user of cryptocurrency?

Experty: Our mission is to encourage the adoption of cryptocurrency on a global scale by creating an intuitive, easy to use application that is suitable for wide scale usage.

In the first year of operations, we will focus only on crypto influencers and experts, because the current state of the technology doesn’t allow us to focus on users outside of this. Our plan is to be the most popular consulting application in the blockchain industry within the first year.

Later, we will make it so that Experty can be easily used outside of the crypto space (ie. you use a credit card to buy EXY credit tokens, so the tokens are just inside the app).

We have a very experienced team of over 10 developers who are confident Experty can achieve its long-term mission.

ICO Alert:Why would a user utilize Experty over other blockchain platform services for knowledge exchange?

Experty: We have a growing community of supporters and partnerships, and we already have a prototype available. Experty’s easy to use interface, coupled with our smart contract, will allow anyone in the world to use our application.

ICO Alert:How do knowledge providers and knowledge seekers interact within the platform? Can you take us through a specific user case?

2. An advice seeker is aware of the main pricing in USD before he/she decides to make a call.

3. The Experty app calculates the amount of EXY tokens required per minute based on the USD/EXY conversion rate on the secondary market.

4. The advice seeker tops off his/her account by using one of the available methods (USD, BTC etc.).

5. The advice seeker starts the call.

6. The knowledge provide receives EXY tokens based on the conversion rate.

7. A value for knowledge exchange occurs.

As an example, Experty can be used by influencers to monetize different social media channels, for example:

ICO Alert:The Ethereum network has occasionally suffered from slow transaction times. Is there any concern that this may affect the Experty platform?

Experty:This is exactly why Experty needs the EXY token. If the Experty application reaches mass adoption, it is possible that the Ethereum network will not scale quickly enough to handle all of our transactions. Having our own token will allow us to migrate to whichever platform is most suitable for our needs.

ICO Alert: As a non-Experty question, we like to ask for unique predictions for the ICO and crypto currency space in the future. Where do you see both in the next 3–5 years?

Experty: With the rapid arrival of new blockchain startups, ICOs, increased adoption, regulation, and government support, we believe that blockchain technology has a bright future. ICOs provide funding to kickstart important blockchain projects, pushing blockchain towards mass adoption. In the next 3–5 years, we see blockchain technology being widely used and accepted in the public and private sectors.

Pre-ICO InformationThe pre-ICO for Experty tokens (EXY) will begin on December 13, 2017 and will run for 60 days, or until hard cap is reached. A hard cap of 33,000 ETH is set for this period. 1 Ether = 1,000 EXY. The token bonus is as follows:
